Many of us probably feel like it was just yesterday that we were watching the ball drop and counting down to bring in the new year - 2007.

You saw the cool spin we put on this year's catalog and wait until you see what we've got planned for next year!

We want to feature YOU, that's right, you and your bike, ATV, scooter, car, truck, what have you, with a SuperTrapp product predominantly displayed on it.

Legend Top 50 Map

Visit Us at Sturgis for a Sneak Peak of New Road Legends Product Line

Style is very important and though we have been a leader in product styling since the beginning, we recognize that the exhaust industry is a fashion industry. SuperTrapp partnered up with master builder, Paul Yaffe 7 years ago to ensure staying on the cutting edge of style. Paul Yaffe is one to set trends, rather than follow them and the success of the Road Legends product line proves that Paul Yaffe is well in tune with the designs and styles riders want.

Dressers are a major segment of the v-twin industry and are growing at an increasingly rapid pace. When riders speak up, SuperTrapp listens. The demand for a larger variety of Dresser products has been one of the most popular requests. SuperTrapp will be introducing the new line of Road Legends Afterburners, Big Poppa and Claw end caps, designed by master builder, Paul Yaffe for this market at Sturgis along with the huge offering of products SuperTrapp currently has for the market including 2007 applications.

Be sure to visit the SuperTrapp trailer at Legend Top 50 Rally Park during the Sturgis Rally and enter for a chance to win a free SuperTrapp exhaust!

SuperPak Testimonial

In case the American Bagger article wasn't enough to let you know the proof is in the "Pak", check out what Neil Smith from Attalla, AL had to say:

My wife and I used to enjoy traveling on my 1984 Gold Wing. I always had Japanese bikes and one day decided to get rid of the Gold Wing. Seventeen years had passed and not knowing much about Harley- Davidsons, believe it or not, I sprung for an '06 H-D Electra Glide Ultra Classic. A buddy of mine knew how much we enjoyed the Gold Wing and suggested I try the Electra Glide, so that's just what I did.

I noticed that Harley-Davidson riders liked to almost always do something different to their bike. That's when I, a new Harley owner, took the same approach. After reading the Shootout article in Hot Bike Baggers, I was completely sold on SuperTrapp's SE Series Slip-Ons. Then I came to find out they're availalbe with the SuperPak.

It was almost too good to be true. I could eliminate re-mapping and purchasing a seperate fuel management system and have my SE Series Slip- Ons. I was sold!

I would recommend the SuperPak to everyone. SuperTrapp made it easy to install, saved me time which in turn, allowed me more time to do what I love most - RIDE!

SuperPak literally gave me a new motorcycle. I didn't know how much I had and what my bike could do until I installed SuperPak.

Mud Bog 2 images stacked

Mud Nationals Contest Winner

SuperTrapp Industries was once again, the proud sponsor of the Mud Bog at this year's High Lifter ATV Mud Nationals in Jacksonville, Texas. The event started off with a couple thousand enthusiasts in 2003 and has grown to see over 12,000 in attendance this year. SuperTrapp believed in this event since day one. This year celebrated the fifth annual Mud Nationals.

SuperTrapp held a drawing for a free MudSlinger, the latest and greatest in our new product line for ATV's. The goal of the contest was to promote awareness, invite visitors to the SuperTrapp tent to introduce new products to them, answer their questions and increase readership of Pipeline, SuperTrapp's quarterly newsletter. The contest proved successful with almost 300 entries.

Paul Meeks of Greenwood, LA was randomly selected as the winner. Meeks rides a Yamaha 400 Big Bear, so he was awarded a SuperTrapp IDS2. The MudSlinger will be available for this application later this summer. Upon receiving news he was the winner, Meeks explained, "This is so cool. I have a different exhaust on it now, but can't wait to take it off and put yours on."

SuperTrapp Keeps Up with EPA Emissions Regulations

SuperTrapp Industries' tunable disc-based products are compatible with the new EPA emission certified engines.

Our exhaust systems' tunability allows customers to meet the flow characteristics required to maintain emissions certification with the new engines. The systems also let users adjust the sound level to reach noise level compliance.

Specific SuperTrapp products that are applicable to the emissions certified engines are the SuperTrapp 2:1 SuperMegs, 2:1 Silent Series, 2:2 FatShots Series, Megaphone Series and Internal Disc Series. All of these exhausts utilize SuperTrapp tunable disc technology, which lets users adjust flow and sound levels through adding or removing discs. Adding discs increases exhaust flow and sound. Removing discs reduces exhaust flow and sound. This tunable feature lets the builder configure the exhaust for his or her specific requirements.

SuperTrapp aims to help small custom bike builders maintain compliance with the rules and regulations of the EPA's letter of guidance.

New Rochelle Harley-Davidson's Testimonial



Category: American V-Twin

Motorcycle: Softail & Dyna

Story: We at NewRoc Harley-Davidson do a significant amount of customization to stock Harleys for our customers, and for the showroom floor to create visual excitement and interest in the bikes. We picked the Supertrapp X Pipes for our Dyna and Softail buildups for several reasons, not only do they look great, they come in silver, black and chrome, and they give the customer the quality and quantity of exhaust note sound they are looking for. These bikes were built by our Master of Technology John Grindrod for showroom display and retail, and are currently available at NewRoc Harley Davidson, New Rochelle, NY 914-632-6743 or www.nrhd.com for more information.

SuperTrapp Exhaust on Custom Built Bike for Soldier

SuperTrapp Industries was asked by Parts Canada if there was interest in donating a performance exhaust for a very special bike being built by Canadian dealership, Harley-Davidson of Barrie for a remarkable soldier.

SuperTrapp provided a Megaphone Series exhaust for a custom built Sportster.

Master Cpl. Jody Mitic lost his feet after he stepped on a land mine in Afghanistan three months ago while he was on patrol in the middle of the night with three fellow snipers from the Petawawa-based 1st Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment.

One big question kept milling around in his military mind: "How am I ever going to ride again?" That problem was solved when he was presented with a custom built bike on April 14, 2007.

The Harley staff raised enough to put together a $50,000 custom bike with a hand-shift and hand brake that worked both the rear and front brakes so that Mitic wouldn't need his feet in order to ride.

Product Spotlight

Shhhhhhhhh. SuperTrapp Introduces "Silent" Series
Officials have spoken up in regards to riders quieting down. SuperTrapp is pleased to introduce the first models in a long line of "silent" systems. We all know that noise is one of the biggest issues facing our industry today. Regardless of how anyone personally feels about noise and volume, the simple fact is that we are going to have to quiet down or suffer the consequences. SuperTrapp Industries has always been an advocate of quiet performance exhaust systems and responsible riding habits. Using that volume control in your right hand can help a lot, but these new exhausts will also let you return a bike to near stock sound levels without returning to stock performance. The first new 2:1 systems are for the Softail models, '91-'07 and wide tire customs. They are available in both a Megaphone and straight body design to offer two different, but popular styles. It's time to quiet down and SuperTrapp has stepped up again at the forefront of the industry to help make this possible for all riders to achieve.

New 2007 Product Line for Victory

SuperTrapp Industries 2007 product line for Victory has arrived. All three new products utilize the power of the SuperTrapp patented Tunable Disc Technology. By adding or removing discs, the sound level and powerband can be adjusted to meet an individual rider's needs or simply follow the recommended settings for best overall performance. All Victory products have completely rebuildable core and packing.

The first of three new products for Victory is the SuperTrapp 2:1 SuperMegs. This is by far the best performing exhaust for the Victory and the dyno charts prove it. The 2.5" collector provides maximum flow while the three piece full coverage heat shields keep the blues away. The SuperTrapp 2:1 SuperMegs are available for Vegas, 8-Ball and Kingpin.

FatShots Slip-Ons for Victory provide crisp throttle response and performance throughout the entire power curve. These are expertly finished in show quality chrome. Available for Vegas, 8-Ball, Kingpin, Hammer and Jackpot.
